Trump demands probe into his FBI spying allegation

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump on Sunday demanded the Department of Justice investigate whether the FBI “infiltrated or surveilled the Trump Campaign for Political Purposes.”

“I hereby demand, and will do so officially tomorrow, that the Department of Justice look into whether or not the FBI/DOJ infiltrated or surveilled the Trump Campaign for Political Purposes — and if any such demands or requests were made by people within the Obama Administration!” Trump tweeted.

The tweet was the latest in a string of tweets Trump has posted in the past week alleging there was an informant “implanted” in his 2016 campaign by the FBI.

According to the Times, Nader told Trump Jr. the crown princes were willing to offer the Trump campaign assistance in defeating Clinton. Zamel also offered his aid, pitching a multimillion-dollar plan to manipulate social media to benefit Trump, the Times reported.

Trump Jr.’s attorney, in a statement provided to the Times, acknowledged the initial meeting, but said the president’s son was not “interested” in their assistance “and that was the end of it.”

Correction: An earlier version of this story misstated the status of Carter Page in Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation of President Donald Trump’s presidential campaign. Page has not been indicted.
